Research Project This nine weeks we have been learning about how to research and the best sources to find information. We will conclude this unit by completing a research paper. The research has been completed in class. On December 14, at 1:30, , we will have our wax museum where the students will dress as their historical person and display their display board for the school to see. The “secret” word is silent night. Whisper this word to Mrs. Morgan or Mrs. Edwards for a treat. The board will be completed at home. Please let me know if you have questions.
